NHTSA Complaint #10212446 — 2000 MAZDA 626

MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND HAVE A BURNING SMELL AND WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN THEY SAID THAT WIRES WERE MISPLACED BY ANOTHER MAZDA DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO ABOUT 8 MONTHS BEFORE. I THEN CALLED BACK ABOUT A MOTH LATER AND TOLD THEM THAT MY CAR JERKS WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS. AT THAT TIME THEY SAID THAT I JUST HAVE SLIPPAGE AND MAY JUST NEED TO ADD SOME TRANSMISSION FLUID . I DID THAT AND IT SEEMED TO HELP UNTIL LAST WEEK WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE RPM METER WENT INTO THE RED BUT MY MPH REMAINED AT 0. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THEN THEY TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION WAS GONE AND THAT IT WOULD BE 3700 TO REPAIR. MORE THAN WHAT THE CAR IS ACTUALLY WORTH IN GOOD CONDITION. *TR
